— 14-foot serial cable and DB25 and DB9 adapters are shipped with the MCP
card. For connection to a modem, you will need a NULL modem adapter.
If there is adequate maintenance space at the rear of the rack, mount the chassis
on the rack before installing cables. If there is inadequate space to do this, install
the rear-mounted network connectors on the chassis before mounting the chassis
on the rack.
CAUTION:
Use of any nontwisted pair wiring arrangements, such as jumpers, can cause
reduction in overall DSL reach performance, even over short distances.
NOTE:
Each Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis weighs approximately nine pounds (with circuit
cards) and can be easily installed by one installer.
